(Productivity: What a beautiful mirage you are.)

Money and work are both means of validation, and while I had the latter taken care of, I wanted to earn the former.

To hustle seems like the only way…

“why aren’t I good enough to be paid for what I do?” It’s important to recognize the value in your work and take ownership; success is impossible without it. But then again, so is the art of taking people’s shit. 

All those fabulous success stories always have a chapter on shit-pile swimming. And I guess this is mine.

too lazy to write full blown blog posts

but here’s where I’m at

  • I quit freelancing, indefinitely
  • I’m not moving back to Brooklyn til I get a full-time job 
  • I have a negative relationship with energy. I blame my family, New York City, and America
  • tech/digital/startups don’t appreciate women. or those of us in communications.
  • I’m ready 
  • I still haven’t found my happy

And that’s the difference between guys and gals. Men will ask for the promotion and the raise. Women will sit back and assume people will notice the hard work they’re putting in and pay them for it. Ladies, If you don’t ask, you don’t get. Ever.

UPDATED THE TUMBLRZ.

Don’t work. Avoid telling the truth. Be hated. Love someone.
Do not waste the vast majority of your life doing something you hate so that you can spend the small remainder sliver of your life in modest comfort. You may never reach that end anyway.
Resist the temptation to get a job. Instead, play. Find something you enjoy doing. Do it. Over and over again. You will become good at it for two reasons: you like it, and you do it often. Soon, that will have value in itself.
So what should you do? You will find your own niche. I don’t imagine you will need to look very hard. By this time in your life, you will have a very good idea of what you will want to do. In fact, I’ll go further and say the ideal situation would be that you will not be able to stop yourself pursuing your passions. By this time you should know what your obsessions are. If you enjoy showing off your knowledge and feeling superior, you might become a teacher.
Find that pursuit that will energise you, consume you, become an obsession. Each day, you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don’t, you are working.

Clay pretty much sums up my life: beer, smartphone, notebook.

You are giving me this raise, I deserve this raise. Yes! Yes! Yes! AHH! The least you could do is keep my salary consistent with inflation, WAKAH! Yes! Why are you gonna give me this raise? Why? Because… I’m awesome! I am AWESOOOME!
